Shen Chao reached out and gently touched his lips, this was not the first time he had kissed Alice, let alone a large number of temporary girlfriends or female companions he had kissed in the previous years. But this time he felt completely different from any previous time, he felt a feeling that he had not experienced before: it was the feeling of love!

Alice is in love with him! Thinking of this, he didn't even know what to say, he had more mutual sex with Alice before, although he also felt Alice's unique charm in the "intense" exchanges in the past few days, and faintly wanted to take her as his long-term partner. However, he didn't expect Alice to express it first.

The huge shock and surprise even made him recall some painful memories hidden in the depths of his memory that he had not touched for many years. He recalls the breakdown of his family, the backlash of his loved ones, and the fact that he was never loved. Thinking of this, he was so excited that he almost cried.

"I ......" He was surprised to find that he opened his mouth but did not know what to say, and the obedient brain, which was usually responsible for making up all kinds of lies, was now stagnant and completely unresponsive, and all kinds of dirty thoughts in his head at any time were gone. He can't speak! But Alice saw his expression without reproach, she knew what to do.

"Let's go, let's go back early, we can't let that Russian speak ill of me again." Alice left him alone and began to walk back. Shen Chao looked at her back, smirked twice and then followed. While excited, I made up my mind in my heart: it's time to look back at the past......

Back at the base, Custer was already ready to go, he was wearing a well-fitting business suit, holding a small suitcase with a nanosuit and a large bag full of weapons, ammunition and tools, sitting in the living room waiting for Shen Chao and them. They didn't have much to bring with them this time, except for some necessary tools and a small amount of weapons and ammunition, only a set of military radios.

Seeing that Custer had already been prepared, Shen Chao and Alice also went to the ammunition depot and weapons area to get their equipment. Shen Chao was still holding his SCAL-H rifle, but this time he only brought less than a base amount of ammunition. Because the world's military strength is too strong this time, it is of no practical significance to bring more ammunition.

In addition to his rifle, he carried a P229 pistol with a matching silencer and four spare magazines. The .40 caliber German pistol was his favorite type in terms of range, lethality, stability, and effect with a silencer, and since they didn't need to unify the caliber of their weapons for this operation, it chose this gun.

In addition to this, he brought several flashbangs, several remote-controlled bombs and several kilograms of high explosives. The explosives were not meant to blow up the vault, but rather a kind of contingency they had planned, just in case.

Compared with Shen Chao, Alice's things are much simpler, she wears casual clothes, pulls a cello case, and puts an MP7 and a FIVE-SEVEN pistol in it, and there is not a lot of ammunition. In addition to this, there is a rather advanced military radio station in the cello case, which they have prepared to ensure communications.

"Be careful outside the city, don't try to enter the city, Caster and I will be fine......" In the weapons area, Shen Chao instructed while helping Alice put on close-fitting body armor. In this operation, they did not arrange a combat mission for Alice, because first, there was no need for this, and second, they did not have a spare nanosuit to protect her.

Even a superwoman like Alice can be vulnerable on the modern battlefield. Not to mention that Manhattan will soon be surrounded by military groups, and in order to deal with Godzilla, the heavy weapons arranged by the army can be seen everywhere. In such a dangerous city, Alice lacks the necessary protection. …,

"I know...... Hey, don't be too greedy, I don't care about the gold, but you have to come back. Alice suddenly put her arms around his neck and said in a commanding tone.

"Understood, my lady. Shen Chao took Alice's hand and kissed it, I don't know if it was his illusion, in his eyes, Alice's smile is very beautiful now. However, even though they felt the ambiguity in the air, the two of them didn't get entangled like before, and they didn't want Custer to wait too long for them. After sorting out their gear, they went to the living room to meet Custer.

"Ah, you've finally decided not to let me wait all night? Custer was surprised to see the two of them ready so quickly. He was indeed a little surprised, because looking at the two of them looking at the crazy expression of the two of them for the past two days, he felt that the new couple was likely to do it again before leaving, and let him wait for a few hours.

"No, we don't think we should let you wait for us any longer, let's go, I didn't drag you down this time." Alice responded to Custer's complaints, and after speaking, she pulled Shen Chao towards the crossing area. Seeing this, Custer also got up and picked up his gear. Turn off the electrical appliances in the room, and follow the couple in front of you to the empty crossing area.

"Last check, weapons and ammunition? Shen Chao took out a form and began the routine final inspection before the crossing.

"Correct, no problem. Custer and Alice replied separately.

"Tools and maps? Shen Chao continued to ask, this procedure seems to be cumbersome, but it is actually very useful, and it can effectively avoid preparation mistakes.

"Correct, all ......" They made their final preparations, and after the inspection, they shook each other's hands and began to cross. This crossing was very smooth, and Shen Chao crossed it standing. And it only took him about half a minute to get into the groove and start the crossing. This shows that his control over his ability to traverse has been further enhanced. If this continues, one day, he will be able to do it, and travel through time and space in a single thought.

The place where they appeared was in the bathroom of the hotel where Shen Chao stayed before he came back last time. Without saying a word, the three of them walked out of the bathroom one after another, each with their own gear, and quickly walked out of the hotel and into the streets of Manhattan. Looking around at the situation, they decided to carry out the plan as best they could. Shen Chao stopped a taxi and sent Alice in. In their plan this time, Alice is going to be outside the city.

"Stay safe. Shen Chao helped her pull the car door and admonished. He knew that outside the city was not without danger.

"You too. Alice thought about it, but decided to give her a quick kiss goodbye. The two kissed goodbye like a normal couple, and then Alice got into the car and headed out of the city. Watching the taxi go all the way out, Custer basically understood what was going on.

"You're in love with her! His tone was full of surprise and reproach.

"This is not the right time to speak...... Shen Chao didn't want to discuss this topic here, because he was trained in the same way as Custer.

"No, no, no, it's the perfect timing, what's going on?" Didn't the third echelon teach you how to control your emotional fluctuations? Custer asked in a lectured tone. He grabbed Shen Chao and led him to a nearby alley and asked.

Although they are field agents, there are very few rules to follow. But there are some industry rules that they also have to follow. It's no secret that the vast majority of agents survive with a mask, and many times it's that mask helps them complete their missions, not their agility. Some undercover agents who have worn this mask for too long will even find themselves unable to remove this psychological mask after years of mission. …,

Although Shen Chao and Cass are both field agents who mainly attack operations, they rarely need to use this skill. But using a mask to protect themselves is also part of their instinct, and it is their norm not to be emotional. From before crossing over today, Custer noticed that Shen Chao was a little different from usual, but he didn't care about it at that time. After all, he knew that Shen Chao was a professional who was not inferior to him.

But just now, when he saw Shen Chao and Alice kissing goodbye, he saw the sparks in the eyes of the two of them, and it was obvious that neither of them was playing. He suddenly realized that Shen Chao didn't wear a mask, and these two people were really in love. What's even more terrifying is that he brought this feeling into the mission.

"You know the dangers of doing this, right? Please, at least tell me, you know the dangers of doing this. Custer pointed at him angrily. He really didn't expect a veteran like Shen Chao to make such a novice mistake.

"Yes, I know. But, to be honest, I don't care about that little bit of risk, man, look around, we're no longer agents anymore, we all have new lives to start with, and not all of the old guidelines apply......," Shen Chao replied-for-tat.

He knew why Custer was angry, they were all professionals, and they were all told early in the training camp that they couldn't be emotionally active in action, or even have a stable relationship. They have even learned to suppress their various basic physical and psychological needs. Build yourself into the perfect weapon behind enemy lines.

But in the end, Shen Chao found that even after so many killings and crises, he was still a human being of flesh and blood, and he also had needs that other people had. The same desire for a safe, carefree environment and the feeling of being loved. Shen Chao understood this a few minutes before this crossing, but Custer still needed a woman who could open his heart to understand.

"Man, I have a hunch that one day in the future, you will find that what you have always dreamed of has come true, your country has been saved, your career has reached the top, your family is complete, your life is complete... Picture perfect. But none of this can compare to the kind of life we have now. There are dangers, there are companions, there are unknowns...... You'll get the idea. After Shen Chao finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder, and then he picked up the backpack that had fallen to the ground and returned to the road.
